When shorting, the thinking was clear, but in the group there were a bunch of voices saying the US stocks would break through upwards. I got impulsive and closed all positions to bottom fish. Not even two days later, SOL and ETH plummeted directly, and now I really can't hold on anymore.

Selling is definitely unwilling, all those profits are gone; keep holding on and fighting, watching the positions turn red every day is also torture. This is the hardest part of the market—if you judge the wrong direction once, you have to bear all the costs of the opposite move. Especially for small retail investors like us, the capital isn't much to begin with, and it can't withstand the turbulence.

Many times, the market is like this—what seems like a certain signal suddenly turns around and hits you in the face. Between bullish and bearish shifts, big funds are taking profits, while we keep getting repeatedly harvested. This market tests the mentality more than the technical skills.
